Mandatory Reporting
After Reporting
Once a report is submitted to DMV, our staff will review it to make sure that it has been completed accurately. In most cases the individual reported will have their driving privileges suspended. DMV sends a Notice of Suspension by mail. The suspension is effective 5 days from the date on the notice.
 
Once an individual has been reported, they can contact DMV and request the opportunity to take vision, knowledge and drive tests. For cognitive and certain functional impairments, the medical and driving records of the individual are reviewed by DMV's Medical Determination Officer to determine if the driver should be tested. An individual must pass all three tests to get driving privileges reinstated in full or on a restricted basis.
 
A reported individual can also request a hearing to appeal the suspension. The suspension notice from DMV provides instructions for requesting a hearing.
 
A reported individual can also give up their driving privileges and request a quit driving identification card.
 
The report submitter will be notified only if the reported individual gets driving privileges reinstated.
 
To inquire about the status of a report, contact DMV’s Driver Safety Unit at (503) 945-5083.
